Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. It mainly occurs on the face and is characterized by various forms of skin lesions such as blackheads, papules, pustules, and nodules. It mainly affects teenagers, but often naturally improves or heals after puberty.
The occurrence of acne is closely related to factors such as excessive sebum secretion, blockage of hair follicle sebaceous ducts, bacterial infection, and inflammatory reactions. However, problems in the digestive system, such as constipation, habitual diarrhea, excessive stomach acid, and ulcers, can lead to toxin accumulation in the body and the inability to eliminate waste properly. At this time, acne may also appear around the mouth and on the sides of the nasolabial folds. Poor gastrointestinal health can cause acne. There are two types: stomach heat and stomach cold.
Stomach heat and stomach cold both cause heat in the gastrointestinal tract. Stomach heat is traditionally described as heat, such as stomach heat, where there is heat in the stomach causing acne. The second type is stomach cold, which leads to decreased gastrointestinal motility and insufficient stomach acid secretion, resulting in slow digestion of food. This can cause food stagnation in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a type of food heat and acne.
To resolve food stagnation, one must consume food therapy to clear stomach heat. Here, I recommend a dietary therapy for eliminating stomach heat: Pickled Carrots and Peanuts.
Ingredients: 400g carrots, 300g white radish, 300g peanuts, 500ml light brine, 3 slices of ginger, 50ml pork soup.
Method: Wash and cut the carrots and white radish into small pieces. Wash the peanuts and soak them in brine for half an hour. Put all the ingredients in a clay pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Then simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
Usage: Consume regularly as a side dish with meals.
